"Your Body" lyrics

"Your Body"

Try to do right by your body
But your body says it can't make up its mind
Singing the song of your body
But the melody is changing all the time

So you stand at the window
Put the bar across the door and
Fold up your arms
They are waiting but
I cannot go
I do not know how to walk

And when the blood runs
And you wonder if you're ringing like a bell
You can have your fun
But you'll never know if you danced for yourself

So you stand at the window
Put the bar across the door and
Fold up your arms
They are waiting but
I cannot go
I do not know how to walk

Try to do right by your body
But it's always taking bidders on the side
There at the end with it
But your body falls to pieces and you look to the sky

So you stand at the window
Put the bar across the door and
Fold up your arms
They are waiting but
I cannot go
I do not know how to walk

So you stand at the window
Put the bar across the door and
Fold up your arms
They are waiting but
I cannot go
I do not know how...
